Mastering Life in Recovery: Practical Tips with Kristin Fuller
Adding life balance is where the gold is in recovery.
What does it really take to thrive in recovery? In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis sit down with life coach Kristin Fuller to explore the concept of life mastery in sobriety. While getting sober is a monumental first step, Fuller argues that the true challenge lies in building a balanced, fulfilling life afterward.
She shares her wisdom on overcoming negative emotions like anxiety and self-doubt, emphasizing the power of positive self-talk to transform your inner dialogue from 'I can't' to 'I can'. Fuller also delves into the importance of establishing daily routines. Starting your day with small, achievable tasks—like making your bed—can set a positive tone and create a sense of accomplishment. She introduces the 'Five Minutes Until' technique, encouraging listeners to commit to tasks in five-minute increments to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
This method can help manage anxiety and keep you moving forward. Mindfulness and meditation are other key components Fuller highlights for maintaining mental health in recovery. These practices can help you stay grounded and present, reducing anxiety and enhancing overall well-being. Fuller also underscores the value of joining a supportive recovery community like Recovered Life, where you can connect with others who understand your journey and offer mutual support.
This episode is packed with actionable tips and strategies for anyone looking to master their life in recovery. Whether you're newly sober or have been on this path for years, Fuller's insights can help you build a more fulfilling, balanced life.
